clutch hub 2 is splined to a rotation shaft, and a plurality of recesses is formed at an exterior circumference thereof along a circumferential direction with even distances. - The sleeve 4 is splined to the exterior circumference of the
clutch hub 2 and is movable in an axial direction. Asliding recess 12 is formed at an exterior circumference of the sleeve 4, and the sleeve 4 can move to the left or the right in the drawings by a shift fork inserted in thesliding recess 12. - Each
blocking key 6 is disposed in the plurality of recesses formed at the external circumference of theclutch hub 2 along the circumferential direction thereof with the even distances - A
spring 14 is interposed between the blockingkey 6 and theclutch hub 2, and the blockingkey 6 is inserted in alocking groove 16 formed at an interior circumference of the sleeve 4 by elastic force of thespring 14. - The
blocker ring 8 is typically called a synchronizer ring. Theblocker ring 8 is disposed at both sides of theclutch hub 2 so as to protect the blockingkey 6 and is adapted to be pushed by the sleeve 4 when the sleeve 4 moves in the axial direction so as to be frictionally synchronized with acone portion 18 of theclutch gear 10. - The

groove gear 22 is the same as that of anormal gear 24. - Since the size of the
groove gear 22, however, is the same as that of the neighboringnormal gear 24, a width of thelocking groove 20 receiving theblocking key 6 therein is not large. -
FIG. 3 is a side view of a blocking key with an assembled state for explaining problems of conventional arts. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , since the width of thelocking groove 20 of thegroove gear 22 is narrow as described above, a contact area between the blockingkey 6 and thelocking groove 20 is also small. Therefore, high surface pressure is applied when shifting, and abrasion may occur if a surface pressure larger than a pressure calculated from an allowable surface rigidity is applied. - The information disclosed in this Background of the Invention section is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the invention and should not be taken as an acknowledgement or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.

clutch hub 50, and a plurality ofrecesses 52 is formed along a circumferential direction with even distances. - The
sleeve 60 is splined to the exterior circumference of theclutch hub 50 and is movable in an axial direction. A slidingrecess 62 is formed circumferentially at an exterior circumference of thesleeve 60. - In addition, a shift fork is inserted in the sliding
recess 62 of thesleeve 60 such that thesleeve 60 moves in the axial direction according to a movement of the shift fork. - The blocking
key 70 is disposed in the plurality ofrecesses 52 formed at the exterior circumference of theclutch hub 50 along a circumferential direction with the even distances. In addition, aspring 72 is interposed between theclutch hub 50 and the blockingkey 70. - Therefore, the blocking
key 70 is inserted in the lockinggroove 64 formed at the interior circumference of thesleeve 60 by elastic force of thespring 72. - The
blocker ring 80 is typically called a synchronizer ring. Theblocker ring 80 is disposed at both sides of theclutch hub 50 so as to protect the blockingkey 70 and is adapted to be pushed by thesleeve 60 when thesleeve 60 moves in an axial direction so as to be frictionally synchronized with acone portion 92 of theclutch gear 90. - A
key receiving portion 81 is formed at theblocker ring 80. -
FIG. 5 is a partial perspective view of a blocker ring of synchronizing device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , thekey receiving portion 81 includes aspace 82, supportingprotrusions portion 85. The supportingprotrusions space 82 - A width of the
space 82 is wide enough to receive a circumferential thickness of the blockingkey 70. - In addition, a protruding
portion 85 is formed at an exterior circumference of theblocker ring 80 between the supportingprotrusions recess 52 of theclutch hub 50 without interference. - In addition, slanted
surfaces protrusions space 82, and the blockingkey 70 is received at theslanted surfaces space 82 becomes wider along a radial outward direction. - In addition, the protruding
portion 85 indicates an assemble position of theblocker ring 80 and maintains an assemble state of theblocker ring 80 stably. Further, the protrudingportion 85 increases a contact area when the blockingkey 70 moves in the axial direction. -
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a synchronizing device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , if thesleeve 60 is moved to the left or right in the drawings for shifting, the blockingkey 70 moves with thesleeve 60 and pushes theblocker ring 80 toward theclutch gear 90 in the synchronizing device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - Then, an interior circumference of the
blocker ring 80 is rubbed with thecone portion 92 of theclutch gear 90. Therefore, rotation speeds of both elements are synchronized. - At this state, if the
sleeve 60 is moved further to the left or to the right in the drawings, thesleeve 60 are synchronized and engaged with theclutch gear 90. Therefore, torque of the rotation shaft S is delivered to a speed gear integrally formed with theclutch gear 90. -

key supporting portion 642, as shown inFIG. 8 , is smaller than a circumferential length L of thegroove contact portion 74 of the blockingkey 70 that contacts with the lockinggroove 64. A difference between the width B of thekey supporting portion 642 and the circumferential length L of thegroove contact portion 74 is larger than a circumferential movement of the blockingkey 70. - In addition, since the both end portions of the
groove gear 640 have the same size as those of thenormal gear 644, the groove gear is not interfered with theclutch gear 90 after synchronizing. - If the width of the locking
groove 64 and the width B of thekey supporting portion 642 are large, the contact area with the blockingkey 70 is also large. In addition, if the contact area is large, a surface pressure is low. - Therefore, if the surface pressure larger than a pressure determined from an allowable surface rigidity is applied, abrasion of the blocking
key 70 may be prevented and durability of a transmission may be improved. - Since a width of a locking groove of a sleeve in which an external circumference of a blocking key is inserted is large, a contact area with the blocking key is also large according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
- Therefore, if a surface pressure larger than a pressure determined from an allowable surface rigidity is applied, abrasion of the blocking key may be prevented and durability of a transmission may be improved.
